Ooltwah, TN. (Jan. 17, 2004) – Chili Pepper Racing, LLC will launch two BMW 325 Ci for the 2004 SCCA SPEED World Challenge Touring Car season. Team owner, Jim Osborn, will pilot the No. 24 Remote Area Medical/Light House Family Retreat/T.C. Thompson Children’s Hospital BMW 325 Ci. Osborn is happy to return back to the series where he competed in seven of the ten SPEED Touring Car races and scored a career-best 11th place finish at Sebring International Raceway. The second driver will be named at a later date.
Chili Pepper Racing, LLC is as passionate about racing as they are about providing top notch medical care. In 2003, Chili Pepper Racing was honored with the Jim Cook Award, SCCA Pro Racing’s highest non-racing award, for their significant contributions to the overall success of the Speed World Challenge Championship through their charitable activities and their consistent display of good character and sportsmanship. Osborn’s team will be promoting three main charities during the 2004 season: Remote Area Medical ( www.ramusa.org ), Light House Family Retreat ( www.lighthousefamilyretreat.org ), and T.C. Thompson Children’s Hospital ( www.erlanger.org ). Remote Area Medical, an international medical relief organization, offers free medical and dental care from the rural Appalachian Mountains to Guyana, South America. On a recent episode of Speed’s Two Wheel Tuesday, Jim Osborn and RAM dentists relied on motorcycles to deliver free dental and medical care to the Appalachians. Inspired by the story, Dave and Erin Edney (Millbrook Alabama) donated their TRIUMPH TIGER to RAM to continue their successful efforts in treating the underserved. The Lighthouse Family Retreat serves children with cancer and their families at a seaside retreat and helps them to laugh, restore family relationships, and find hope in God. The Children’s Hospital serves the needs of children in three states and often receives no reimbursement in the care of oncology, trauma, burn care, birth defect treatment, or routine medical services.
Monies raised through Chili Pepper Racing, LLC will help the organizations continue their efforts in providing free medical care to people throughout the world. Osborn will sport the charities’ logos on their race prepared BMWs and make public appearances to help raise funds for the two charities.
